There aren't sufficient sync points for a fs for xip operations. In
particular for the mmap case. It can be not sufficient to lock/unlock
to do some operation inside get_xip_mem callback. For xip_file_read
it's really easy to write a fs specific wrapper, xip_file_write hold
i_mutex so no problem. With this patch we can avoid concurrent truncate
operation and xip mmap.
Umm... I really don't like that; what's going to happen if you have a file
mmapped and do write() to that file from address in that mapping?
Nothing strange. There is a serialization of the operations. Maybe I
don't understand the point here.
